An apparatus and method to reinforce doors against windstorm. The apparatus includes a bar, and at least one bar bracket with a bar aperture sized to admit the bar, at least one pair of opposed ears, and an ear aperture in each ear. At least one bar bracket is mounted to an existing door hinge using a bracket fastener through a pair of ear apertures and a hinge bore in the hinge. Shims may be installed between the bar and the door and/or wall. The method includes the steps of removing a hinge pin from an existing hinge, positioning a bar bracket on the hinge such that the hinge is disposed between a pair of ears, inserting a bracket fastener through the ear bores and the hinge bore, and inserting a bar through at least one bar aperture. The bar may then be shimmed in place.
